after a viewer emailed me bicycle lanes are for bicyles lanes just like sidewalks are for people i've had this dicussion about car drivers before. like this driver there try to use the bike lane as a short cut another drivers try to block him but only after noticing the camera does the driver get back in line. however when traffic backs up some motorcyclist and scooter riders do the same thing they jump in the bike lanes. some jump in to pass other vehicles. then jump right back in to traffic. it is against state law to use the bike lane as a way to get around blocked traffic, in fact. you are only permitted to use the lane to park where permitted to enter or leve the roadway, or listen carefully 200 feet from an intersection. motorcyclist and power scooter already have the ability to split lanes you don't get to use the bike lane. it's dangerours and illegal to use bike lanes if you are not riding an actual bicycle. this is a preety heavily traveled bike lane expecially during the morning rush hour so keep your motorcycles out the bike lane. and one foot down does not imply you are walking your bike. in san francisco stanley roberts kron 4 news. if you have a comment or story idea for stanley, e-
